Is blizzard not feasible as AOE boxer vs AE?

Thanks for sharing and please report back any updates on your findings as you progress.

I like your idea on the dual buttons for AoE with Nova and AoE without Nova. I likely will try that on my Locks as I test out AoE with Rain of Fire on @Player (or maybe @Cursor though that seems more complicated with setview and what not).

I do the same thing with frostbolt and a castsequence macro on my priest for single target dps. It's a good move not to mention Holy Nova guzzles through mana, even worse than AE. I'm also stacking spirit over int on the priest so the mana pool isn't as large to begin with. I'll be sure to update you. I imagine in the mid 40s it will be interesting and certainly by BRD I will know just how far I can take this build.

OK great. Note that I edited my previous post with some follow-up thoughts while/after you quoted it. Regarding your Warrior:

Is your Warrior that is losing Aggro using all/most of his Rage on Shouts? I remember at least one AoE person saying that, even after the nerf, that Warriors can still hold aggro (just need to shout more). If you are having issues maybe try delay the start of your AoE a little longer letting the Warrior shout a few more times and also make sure he is shouting while you AoE.
